This is the most magical plant in my garden.
Its nickname is Fairy Flower.
Most call it foxglove. The scientific name is Digitalis purpurea.
One year I actually hid tiny fairies in the flowers for a post.
Most of my foxgloves are pink this season.
But no two are identical.
The tubular flowers have hairs inside along the bottom.
The stamen with pollen and stigma are under the roof.
Bees go in and get their tummies tickled by the hairs
as pollen is deposited onto or removed from their backs.
It’s the spots that get me.

Foxglove freckles truly are beguiling. But why, one wonders. I’m not a bee.

A lovely old fashioned cottage garden plant, beautiful but deadly. Not a good idea if there are children in the garden.

Pure magic indeed! Saw some unusual colours at plant fairs this year and have just sown D. ferruginea, hope it’ll grow for me.
